– A-674563 is a potent and selective Akt1 inhibitor with Ki of 11 nM. A-674563 suppressed the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in cardiomyocytes following ?-adrenoceptor activation, suggesting that AKT1 is a critical regulator molecule upstream of the NLRP3 inflammasome. A-674563 suppresses CDK2 activity, inhibits human NSCLC cell growth more effectively than the pan-AKT inhibitor, MK-2206
